What else can I help you with?
What causes plates to stop moving temporarily?
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
What does plates moving past each other cause?
Earthquakes.
Does copper mining cause earthquakes?
No. The moving of tectonic plates does.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
How do the moving plates cause constant changes to the surface of your planet?
they build mountains and volcanoes, and cause earthquakes.
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
Do moving plates cause tornadoes?
Moving tectonic plates and tornadoes are not directly related. Tornadoes are primarily caused by atmospheric conditions such as warm, moist air colliding with cool, dry air. Tectonic plate movements can indirectly affect weather patterns, but they do not directly cause tornadoes.
What is the cause of the plate movement?
the magama under the plates are moving causing the plates to move.If you like this answer could you give me some trust points
What are plates that make earthquakes happen called?
The plates that cause earthquakes are called tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving, which can create stress along their boundaries. When this stress is released suddenly, it can result in an earthquake.
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
What does moving of techtonic plates cause?
Moving of tectonic plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges when plates collide or pull apart. These movements also contribute to the creation of ocean basins and continents over long periods of time.
